Possible Causes

Too much detergent in the solution, use of non-carpet-cleaner detergent, dirty water tank overfilled with foam, blocked foam filter.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance if foam reaches electrical areas.

  • Stop and empty tank: Remove and empty the dirty water tank. Rinse out the foam thoroughly.
  • Rinse filters: Wash the foam filter and any mesh screens to remove detergent residue.
  • Use correct detergent: Refill with the recommended Morphy Richards carpet shampoo at the correct dilution. Avoid household cleaners that foam heavily.
  • Monitor fill level: Do not allow the dirty water tank to fill beyond the max line; excessive foam can trigger premature shutoff or leaks.
